K.C.C.

Hi guys. I've found a trunk lip spoiler that I like. I am wondering if you guys have any experience with this company:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I don't believe it is a replica of OEM, INGS nor R-Magic. If it is a replica of something, please let me know what it is. I did a quick search here and couldn't find any info. I really like the size and angle of this lip and it seems like it would provide a bit of downforce.

If I do happen to get it, I have a question. It says the spoiler is to be installed with "strong silicon glue". What type of silicon glue is strong enough? Alternatively, if I choose to use 3M double-sided ahesive, is there a specific model of 3M I should be after?

Some pictures:

I believe a member bought this spoiler. His name is "Caranddriver." He had a thread about it, but I don't think he had the chance to put it on yet.

Oh yes oh yes. I've been looking for something more aggressive like this but with less angle. Would liek to know more info too.

I first saw this a while back when a member was selling a WB version in the for sale section.

The one you linked looks better than the one I was going to buy but decided not too because it just didn't look right:

That's what I am concerned about. Although I don't have much experience in this regard, silicon glue doesn't sound secure enough to me. The last thing I want is to have my spoiler fall off. It'd be pretty embarassing. I need to find out what type of 3M double sided adhesive is used in this application because they don't seem to fall off. Or am I wrong?

The 3M double sided outdoor mounting tape is more than enough to keep this on the car. I used it when I had the Rmagic spoiler and it never had any problems. I'm actually the person who was selling this spoiler in winning blue a while ago. Never got the chance to mount it but the person who bought it from me is local. Ill have him chime in once he mounts it.

I like a subtle lip spoiler, one that is even more subtle than the INGS. This one seems decent but is it just me or does it angle up too much? Not sure if it's the same one sold here:

From mazdaparts.com, I also noticed that racing beat makes one but pic is not very good:

EDIT: link to a post w/ pics of the racing beat rear wing, not really the subtle lip spoiler I was looking for:

I am glad to hear that.

I messaged the seller and here's what he said:

How many spoilers do you have in stock?
- Plenty

Where are the spoilers made?
- Hong Kong

What type of glue is best?
- 3M silicone glue

Is the glue included?
- No

Can I use 3M double sided adhesive?
- Yes, but not recommended

Anyone has any experience with 3M silicone adhesive?
Which one is easier to remove? double sided adhesive or silicone adhesive?

K.C.C.

Anyone?

my thought would be sided adhesive tape..i have used it before and it bonds really strong and does not damage paint..i would use 3m double sided tape

Another good question to ask is the fitment. No point in choosing an adhesive if it won't fit

looks similar to my Vertex Lang lip spoiler but not quite.

cheapman

That Vertex Lang spoiler looks nice. How did you attach it? Does it come painted?

i used 3M double sided tape. its the kind used for mounting molding and such. they do not come painted.

same here, but I didn't want to buy it to repaint it. Someone eventually picked it up, repainted and had it installed.

Here's a link to his posts with pics:
